Resolving the Poor Image Quality problems

All Troubleshooting procedures assume that only factory-authorized supplies are in use in the Printer.

Step Procedure

1Review the following information.

Symptom: Photos on the cards look pixilated or grainy, as shown below.

Printer Error State: None

LCD Error Display: None

Driver Monitor Error Display: None

2Use high-resolution, 24-bit color images to always capture an image:

at a 24-bit color setting

at 300 dpi

at the same size that it will be printed on the card, as captured either with a scanner or with a digital camera

If a small or low-resolution image is stretched or blown up, a pixilated or grainy effect will occur when printing, as shown below (rightside).
